Safety Media Kleen Eyes II Eyewash Station
April 3, 2009 — Ai-yi-yi! There's something in my eye! And why? Because basements and boiler rooms contain plenty of stuff to make your corneas cower and your retinas retch: bleach and other cleaning supplies, soot, sand, salt — even oil and grease that may spurt from moving parts. We're not saying your super and porters toil in a Dickensian coalfield, but seriously, there's a lot of caustic crap down there.
Safety goggles help, but should something bad still get into your workers' eyes, here's a simple alternative to holding one's head under a faucet and trying to clear out one eye at a time: this faucet-mounted eyewash station from the Canadian company Safety Media Inc.
OK, so maybe it doesn't look so elegant. But it does look like it'll get the job done — and at less than $150 Canadian, this faucet-mounted model is half the price of some of the cheapest standalone stations. Adjustable spray heads attach to your existing faucet, and is designed not to interfere with normal faucet operation. An automatic diverter valve returns the faucet to return to normal use when water is shut off.
Aside from the Boy Scout be-prepared aspect, this very low-cost safety addition is also an inexpensive way of showing your staff that you care. So when you vote on whether to install this or another eyewash station, let the eyes have it.
